what does the president need to do, what can he do to get the economy growing? >> well, look, in the near term what he needs to do, and i'm not sure politically -- forget about the politics, which is is interesting. he told his staff, give me good advice, forget about politics for now. i think that makes sense. i think he's in a similar space to where you're asking. i think what he needs to do in the short term is think about fiscal measures to help complement what the federal reserve is doing. they have the pedal to the metal on interest rates. they're very low. absent more demand on the consumer side, obviously low interest rate isn't going to be enough. so he has to do some of these jobs measures and you have actually seen some of those slipping into the budget bills. infrastructure is something he'd really like to see more of. >> chuck, even if republicans have backed away on debt limit as a potential threat, do you really think that they're going to cooperate on stimulus as jared is recommending? >> no, i think that's probably a bridge too far. i do think t
